A TEENAGER has sadly lost his fight for life after an horrific motorbike crash.

Coleg Menai student, Craig Collin, 17, from Anglesey received serious head injuries and a snapped spinal cord after the accident near Benllech on November 11. Since then his Mum April, has been constantly at his bedside at a specialist critical injuries unit at the University Hospital of North Staffordshire in Stoke on Trent.

She said: Craig died late last night (Friday). I want to thank the emergency services and the doctors who looked after him. They did all they could but unfortunately his injuries were too serious."

After the accident, Craig, who worked at the Blackstone Garage at Parys Mountain, was initially taken to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor, where he suffered a cardiac arrest. He was stabilised before being transferred to Stoke on Trent where he had been in a medically induced coma ever since.

There were fears he may have suffered brain damage and that he would never be able to walk again.

Craig's young sisters Cheyenne and Kiara, and five year old brother Nico have been cared for by relatives at Amlwch while April kept her bedside vigil.
